AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features a sleeve with a design typical of French productions from the late 1970s or early 1980s. On the visible side, the jacket has a solid red background with a color photograph of the singer sitting cross-legged, wearing a blue striped shirt under a dark cardigan with white stripes, and smiling directly at the camera. The artist's name, "LENA," is printed in large beige letters at the top of the sleeve, while the titles "Des Mots de Sympathie" and "Faut-il mourir d’aimer" appear in light yellow, on the left and bottom of the cover, respectively.

The Philips label logo is clearly visible in the upper right, confirming the official release under this recognized label. The overall layout and colors evoke the graphic standards of popular French song of that period. The sleeve has no particular decorative pattern other than the photograph and text. On the left edge, a small printed mention is partially legible, which is common for this type of pressing.

The visible surface of the record under the sleeve is not shown, but the jacket suggests a standard 45 rpm (single) format, suitable for classic record players. The artist's photograph, the matte appearance of the sleeve, and the typography used are consistent with French music productions from the early 80s. No major defects are visible, except for a few scuff marks and a very slight crease on the upper right corner, signs of moderate use.

The titles "Des Mots de Sympathie" and "Faut-il mourir d’aimer" are highlighted, indicating that this is a single or an EP, probably with one song per side. The overall visual atmosphere is understated, focusing on the artist with a clothing style and graphic presentation reminiscent of the musical aesthetic of the time.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The sleeve shows some signs of wear, including slight fold marks and visible scuffs on the upper right corner. No other major defects are visible on the front. The record itself is not visible in the photo.

Did you know? The Philips label played a major role in promoting French music between the 1960s and 1980s, producing many famous artists of that era. 45 rpm records were then the preferred format for releasing singles and radio hits due to their rapid production and accessibility.
